The paper presents data achieved during an experimental test campaign executed on real-scale one storey/one bay EBF steel structures with vertical and horizontal links. Experimental tests were executed in displacement control by applying cyclic loading histories following ECCS45 protocol and constant amplitude-imposed displacements. Data provide indications concerning the energy dissipated by each prototype during tests, the corresponding shear force - angular distortion curves of the dissipative link and, besides, the force-displacement behavior of the steel prototypes until failure.
